Here is an Asymptote example unitsize(1cm); draw((-.1,0) -- (2,0), arrow=Arrow(TeXHead)); draw((0,-.1) -- (0,2), arrow = Arrow(TeXHead)); draw((0,0) .. (1,1) .. (2,sqrt(2))); Below is how I have started setting this up in Context. This creates a pdf file with the drawing, but it is not included in the final docuement. \defineexternalfilter [ASY] [filtercommand={asy -tex "context" -View -outformat pdf -outname \externalfilteroutputfile\space \externalfilterinputfile}, output=\externalfilterbasefile.out, readcommand=\typefile, cache=force, location=text, continue=yes] \starttext \startASY[myplot] unitsize(1cm); draw((-.1,0) -- (2,0), arrow=Arrow(TeXHead)); draw((0,-.1) -- (0,2), arrow = Arrow(TeXHead)); draw((0,0) .. (1,1) .. (2,sqrt(2))); \stopASY \externalfigure[myplot] \stoptext Thanks Jeroen 2014-12-28 12:04 GMT+01:00 Mojca Miklavec : > Dear Aditya, > > On Sun, Dec 28, 2014 at 8:21 AM, Aditya Mahajan wrote: > > On Wed, 24 Dec 2014, Context NTG wrote: > > > >> Could anybody explain how to use Asymptote in ConTeXt with the filter > >> module. > > > > Can you post a minimal asymptote file and how it shoud be processed via > the > > command line? > > I have no time to create a nice minimal example, but here's an ugly > non-minimal example which should at least enable you to test the > interaction with the filter module. > > I also added one ConTeXt-specific command while trying to make math > fonts work properly, just replace "lucidaot" with another font in case > you don't have that one installed. > > You can run the example with > asy -tex context cylinder.asy > > (Maybe it's possible to set the tex engine inside the file as well.) > > > Bonus points if you can get PRC to work properly before TL 2015.
